El tamaño importa. Política multiescalar en entornos post-humanos

Abstract

The article approaches politics as an eminently controversial and multiscalar phenomenon. It reviews different versions of politics that coexist in post-human settings, not necessarily in an harmonious or complementary way. These range from the conventional forms or terminals of politics (megalopolitics), in which the awareness that one is practicing politics and the practice of politics are coincidental aspects, to other more complex articulations in which the political is more structuring in its effects where it is less recognisabel as experience. To make these new articulations intelligible - or which biopolitics or the politics of bodies, and nanopolitics or the politics of (all) things are the most outstanding - it is necessary to elaborate new conceptual ensembles that disfigure politics, which until now has been caught in the figurative trap of anthropocentrism.
